From Tealux

Coffee, tea, and chocolate together at last! An incredibly delicious fusion of cacao, coffee, and smoky oolong tea.

Blend coffee and tea? Have we lost our minds? Not yet! Our blend-mistress has come up with a stunning new flavor profile which will have you reaching for your infuser instead of your coffee-maker in the morning. Tealux combined the finest flavor qualities of roasted coffee beans, lightly smoked oolong tea, and cacao pieces to produce a sweet, full-bodied but light and flavorful infusion with a warm and inviting aroma.

6 Tasting Notes

This tea smells dry and cocoa like with traces of overbearingly sweet yet sour fruit scent. Looking in the ingredients I can’t actually find any fruit in the ingredients which is strange considering it says strawberry mocha in the title. Still it does have a fruit scent but resembling artificial fruit if anything.

The Oolong comes through strongly in this blend but I feel it’s just too strong. While I love smoky, dark Oolongs I feel that the sweetness from the raw scent is now lost. I can also taste a bitter coffee flavour which does not bear too well with the dark, toasty Oolong. As for the chocolate/cocoa there is perhaps a little of it present in the after taste but I’m really reaching there.

So overall this smells unbelievably sweet though somewhat artificial but it actually tastes darkly sour with at best medium roasted Oolong and at worst a cup of coffee that was made with a few dregs of Oolong in the bottom to confuse the flavours.

No thanks Tealux, this is definitely not for me.

Preparation

I wanted this to be so much more than it is. It’s basically just a darker oolong with a hint of maybe? coffee like qualities to it. There is no chocolate, no strawberry (though now i’m not sure there was ever any in here)… I mean it’s drinkable but i’d pretty uch swear i was drinking a plain oolong. In fact, i almost thought the other cup i had WAS the flavoured one. sigh

I’m not usually a fan of flavored Tealux teas. This would be an exception. I LOVE this. Awesome. It’s dark oolong, it’s chocolate, it’s strawberry – not really getting the mocha, but I’m in a forgiving mood.
Yep I will restock this one – it just works in every way for me.
